Fortify Your Network Control With A Utm And Penetrator Vulnerability Scanning Appliance


Did you now that your company’s computer network is facing security threats everyday?  Hackers will attempt to infiltrate your network to steal information or disrupt your operation. Pranksters will try to access your wireless network to get free Internet access while spammers will flood your mail servers.  On top of these, there are the usual worms, viruses, and Trojans that will surely harm your entire network and damage your files.  To protect your network from these daily threats, you need to deploy the Protector UTM Anti Spam appliance and Penetrator vulnerability scanning appliance.  These are your best defenses against all network security threats.

The Protector UTM Anti Spam appliance is a very effective tool against the onslaught of spam, unwanted, and redirected mails.  This hardware is equipped with the latest anti spam technology that can block unwanted mails without filtering legitimate electronic communications.  So even if you do not have a mail server administrator, your corporate email system will still operate at optimum levels.  However, the Protector UTM Anti Spam appliance is not only effective against spam.  It also has the capability to act as an anti-intrusion device that can block viruses, Trojans, and all forms of malicious wares.  With just a single UTM appliance, your network will get multiple protection systems and effectively prevent external attacks and threats.  

In the past, the only solution of companies to protect their networks is to deploy a firewall and implement several adhoc security systems.  In most instances, a firewall is not enough to prevent attacks.  And if you deploy different security systems, you will be forced to deal with several vendors.  This will complicate your network security management and would be costlier also.  That is why you will enjoy superior benefits from an all-in-one Protector UTM Anti Spam appliance.  All major security issues can be handled by a UTM appliance that is why your network will be protected at all times.  

To further fortify network security, the Penetrator vulnerability scanning appliance should also be installed.  Although a UTM device has anti intrusion capability, it is not designed to perform network security audits.  This security audit can only be performed by the Penetrator vulnerability scanning appliance.  This type of appliance is your best defense against hackers.  The vulnerability scanning appliance will identify exposed and weak areas of your network that can be exploited by hackers.  The Penetrator testing appliance can perform automated scanning so you can ensure that all the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of your network can be addressed immediately.  The pen testing appliance can provide vulnerability assessments, reports, and solutions.  

So if you want to fully protect your network from external threats and hacks, then you have to seriously consider deploying UTM and vulnerability scanning devices.  These two security systems work in tandem with each other.  The UTM protects your network systems from spam and viruses while the vulnerability scanner will enable you to prevent illegal hacks.  With these security systems in place, you will be able to keep your network safer and protected.

RHUB’s 4-In-1 Appliance Solves Web Conferencing Problems, Among Other Situations


Web and video conferencing are extremely popular business tools companies are using to avoid travel time and expenses when organizing meetings with satellite stations and offices from around the world.

Web hosting through companies like WebEx or Citrix’s GoToMeeting offer

web conferencing for a monthly fee and there is no guarantee everyone who needs to attend the meetings will be able to download the software because of firewall restrictions or download boundaries from their own company.

RHUB’s 4-in-1 Appliance is a piece of equipment a company purchases for a one time fee. There is a no-download option for attendees so anyone who has a browser can access a meeting.

RHUB wanted to provide its customers with flexibility and the best value so it combined four applications into one appliance.

The RHUB 4-in-1 Appliance begins with Web conferencing, also known as interactive meetings in which every attendee, using a Mac or a PC, can interact within the meeting. Each individual attendee can become the presenter and take control of the shared screen. The attendee can also give up control to another participant of the conference.

RHUB’s patent pending unique Universal attendance technology makes seminars easy and simple. 100% attendance is guaranteed and every attendee can join within five seconds.

Remote support for Mac’s and PC’s, this application simplifies connecting to another computer for support and control. Auto controller/presenter set up, file transfers and reboot of remote computers are also supported here.

And finally RHUB’s remote access enables you to access any unattended computer; your office computer from home or your home computer from your office or either from your laptop while traveling.

How UTM Appliance Works?


As threats to information and network systems continue to increase, companies and organizations with large networks are implementing different layers of security. There are firewalls, anti-virus, spam and content filtering, vulnerability scanning, and anti-penetration hardware. However, these security layers can be integrated by using UTM appliance. UTM stands for unified threat management and is considered as the most efficient way of managing security threats and vulnerabilities. With a single threat management appliance, network administrators will have an easier time detecting vulnerabilities and creating countermeasures to prevent external and internal attacks.

A UTM appliance is a piece of hardware that can be deployed on a large network. Such hardware has multiple security capabilities and features so it serves as an all in one security solution for corporate networks. Once deployed, a UTM device can perform regular vulnerability scanning of the entire network. Typically, you will need a penetration testing appliance or vulnerability scanning software to detect areas in your network that could become a potential source of problems. A UTM appliance can perform such task thus rationalizing the security solution of a network.

Another common security layer that is being deployed by companies is a spam and web content filtering system. Some of the most virulent viruses, Trojans, and worms penetrate a network through spam email messages. Normally, these viruses are contained in PDF attachments, media files, and streaming audios or videos. Malicious scripts and backdoor Trojans, on the other hand, may come from unsecured files downloaded through P2P sharing sites. Spam filtering systems can block such unsecured content from penetrating the network of a company. With a UTM appliance, there is no need anymore to deploy additional anti spam protection because this can be accomplished by the UTM device.

A UTM appliance can also be used as a control gateway of the network. Network administrators can configure such device to control the traffic coming in and going out of the network. It can also serve as a site filtering device to control the browsing activities of each workstation within the network. With its built-in vulnerability scanning capability, deploying a UTM system can significantly help IT managers and administrators in keeping the network safe from attacks. It can prevent access to desktop applications that can be used for personal purposes. It can also prevent heavy downloads of streaming media which affects the performance of corporate networks.

Your company can save resources by implementing a unified threat management system. If you have different security layers coming from different providers, you will have to pay for the regular upgrades of your network’s security devices and software. But with a UTM system, the cost of upgrading it would be cheaper and affordable. You will also deal with one provider only thus technical glitches can be solved faster. Most importantly, a UTM device can be deployed without disrupting the operations of the network. You can implement it over your network without rebooting your servers. So your company will stay live and productive during deployment and configuration of the UTM system.
